High level of Cholesterol
My cholesterol was measured at 292. This is coming from a clinic that took my blood sample for life insurance purposes. I'm going to get another blood sample taken by my Doctor.
I was wondering if there's something in my nutrition that would cause it to be so high. Would high protein cause this, how about supplements?
Thanks.
Here's what my daily nutrition/supplements looks like:
9am
- Eggs, 1 whole / 4 whites (scrambled)
- 1/2 cup (before cooking) oatmeal w/ 1 tsp PB, dash of cinnamon
- Multi-Vitamin
- 3 liver tablets
12pm noon
- 2 scoop protein shake w/ frozen strawberries, creatine
3pm
- lean meat
- 1/2 cup brown rice
- steamed veggies
- 3 liver tablets
6pm
- 2 scoop protein shake w/ 1 tblsp heavy cream
9pm
- lean meat
- 1/2 cup brown rice
- steamed veggies
- 3 liver tablets
12 midnight
- 2 scoop protein shake w/ glutamine
- 1 tblsp flax oil
- 1 gram vitamin C
or
- cottage cheese w/ glutamine
- 1 tblsp flax oil
- 1 gram vitamin CMAX. Q

The lab technician who took the blood sample said to fast for 3-4 hours prior....had breakfast at 8am and then sample was taken at 12:30noon, I remember cause I was very hungry and mad cause it was throwing my meal timing off for the day
During the fast I drank plenty of water.
Now that you mentioned it, I believe Mom has/had high Chol, I'll have to ask her...totally forgot about genetic links...
thanks

Max....your program looks good and tight, Cholesterol lowering ...but you need a 12 hour fast...and when you check relatives, go back as far as GP's and all of their and your parent's siblings.....
We have a good post on how to lower this...but that test timing was aweful!
